While the hearts are cooking, we can prepare our side dish. Pour the buckwheat into a hot saucepan, and toast it well. Then pour boiling water over the buckwheat, drain it, and pour fresh boiling water into the saucepan so that it rises almost one centimeter above the buckwheat. Add salt and cook until the liquid has completely evaporated. Then wrap the saucepan in a towel to keep the buckwheat warm.
